LONDON, Sept. 2G.-The Minister OF Pub

Gently made a discovery, the object Of
which will require most active vigilance
on the part OF his lieutenants TO follow out

province OF Tver, Nihilistic doctrines arc
spreading. with grest rapidity, and that
the Russian youth Of that province are
becoming fast imbued with the iconoclas-
tic spirit Of the rsvolutionists. 4jI2
Tver Ia tainted with Nihilism, and the
authorftiea are alar med at it's extensiye
bold on the minds Of the people, The
Minister of Public Instruction found and
seized number Of writings Of all degrees
Of Nihilistic teaching, from the mildness
Of the neophyte in government opposition
TO the fierce and uarestrsned language of
the Gar killer. ...f5

from the capital, has been made the re-
ceptacle OF political exiles from St. Peters

Tor minor ofenaes, have been sent to Tyer,
and an excellent opportunity has been
given to these enthusiasts to convert lsrpe
numbers to their fold. Tho business has
been gone about quietly, secret meetings
have baen held where none but the faith.
fnl and thosd brought by them, have been
admitted; the young men Of Tvee have
been taken in hand by the cultivated mon
who have been able to present their ideas5
in the most pala.able shape, and the
consequence is they have succesd in their
endeavors most fully. ~. ,I13l. ,l1i5 = :
Since the discovery of this state OF
things in Tver, the Government has excr-
cised the most stringent surveillance over

places and scattered among other pro-
vinces. They will be careful not to allow
